My best war movie,I'm watching this awesome movie since 2001(release date of Black Hawk Down),the best part of the movie was the whole damn movie&#65279;.Hans Zimmer make this movie very good.He is the god of composers.I had eargazm aowwww...

You misunderstand what Mike meant; I believe he is at least partly right, some of the music was scored like a jam session, where music was improvised that later became honed into the score. Mike didn't mean actual bands did music for the film.

That's right... They were like a band jamming in the studio. The music was recorded and some of it ended up in the film, usually re-arranged depending on each sequence's needs.But basically, HZ wrote the main themes (Still, Vale of Plenty, Tribal War, Leave No Man Behind) but it was all played and arranged by the band itself during the jamming sessions or later.Some cues are credited to other musicians (Pereira for Mogadishu Blues, Rona for Bakara, Wesson for the ambient part from Chant...). "Ashes to Ashes" starts with some kind of improvisation on the electric cello by Martin Tillman, then the band starts to play all together.

There's a lot of unused / additional music that never ended up in the film.

I'm curious who did what in this entire score. I imagine off the bat that Zimmer did "Leave No Man Behind" and "Tribal War", but wasn't this score basically a bunch of jam sessions?

MacArthur, unless you're willing to substantiate that claim, all anyone is going to read is "I HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT ANYTHING" on a post with your name on it.

My question is why wouldn't it be? let's just put it that way.

There's no reason why it wouldn't be...just like there's no reason why it would. My point is, if you don't have anything more than an "I think," without any reasoning or argument to back it up, then you're contributing jack shit to the discussion. It's like the internet version of talking because you like the sound of your own voice.

When Hybrid says a cue is by a certain composer, we listen because he has access to information we don't have. With you it's just random gut feelings and opinions without any convincing substance behind it whatsoever. Hence, why should we listen to you?

When did Hybrid say that it wasn't Zimmer. I didn't go against what he said If he says it, it's fine with me.

Does it say anything about Hunger being by a different Composer?

There's four additional music guys up there, so there is absolutely ZERO guarantee that the cue is by Zimmer alone. Similarly, there is ZERO guarantee that the cue ISN'T by Zimmer alone. Until we know more for sure, there is also ZERO point in slinging your "I thinks" around.

Yeah That I know but the guy on top seem to say that Zimmer didn't have a hand in it at all.

Combination of OST, songs used in the movie, music from the DVD bonus and some promotional cues from the musicians of the score... Everything is edited/chopped so that it looks "new", but, it's definitely fanmade.

Its a fake track, its an edit of Tall King Dub (source) crossfaded with the end of Hunger.

I really love the movie Black Hawk Down.It's your music that makes the movie itself.But the scene when Corporal James Edgar Smith Jr.. lies on the stretcher,Played course, "Leave No Man Behind" Piano version that I can not find anywhere.But keep up the good work! sorry for my English, I'm from Sweden:)

i could notice the rythem beat and tempo is so much close to the sound and timing of a black hawk rotor chopping the air in it's flight. i notice it special in Hunger and synchrotone and sure in Chant.

The blend of West and Eastern sentiments in the music is extraordinary and sums up the clash between cultures with pinpoint accuracy. It demonstrates that image and music can achieve a power that each on their own cannot reach...a masterpiece!...thanks
